Blue Moon Ice Cream - The Boy with the Blue Wagon

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...You've met this little guy before. You may not know his name, but I guarantee you know him well. Chances are you have a child like this in your own family. He's four going on forty and completely comfortable in the company of adults. He has twenty dollars in his pocket and is at the nursery to buy his mother a gift, a perfect gift, for Mother's Day. He's approached and been helped by every adult in the nursery, but as you can see he's not yet convinced he's made the right choice. He thought about it a while longer and then swapped the red geranium for a Martha Washington with flowers like apple blossoms, " because, silly, it's pretty like my Mom." He's going to be a heartbreaker in another decade. I thought you'd like to meet him on this Blue Monday morning. Have a wonderful day.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Blue Moon ice cream is really popular in the upper midwestern states. It's hard to find in other areas of the country. While I thought it would be fun to post a recipe for it on National Ice Cream Day, there's no reason for vanilla and chocolate ice cream to wave the flag of surrender. Blue Moon ice cream is an acquired taste. The Chicago Tribune once likened its taste to that of the milk left in a bowl of fruit loops. I offer it here as a curiosity and for those for whom it is a childhood memory. The recipe comes from RecipeZaar. If you're tempted but would like something a bit more sophisticated there are alcoholic versions of this recipe on the internet. Try here or here.

Look at that color! It's beautiful! And, I'm pretty sure I could easily adjust to something that tastes like the milk from fruit loops in ice cream form. I've never seen Blue Moon ice cream before, but it sounds like the South is missing out!

Hi Mary!Love the post. Oh My Gosh, I love that little guy. Isn't he just beautiful? I have several of those little guys. 2 of my own, and 3 grandsons. Isn't it wonderful. Now that ice cream I have never had, but I guarantee you I will before the summer is over. Thanks for sharing. As always another wonderful post. Thanks Mary. Country Love and Hugs, Sherry

Our nephew has a daughter that just turned six who is extremely comfortable with adults - just like this darling boy. She walked in my sister-in-law's house when she was four and said, "Carolyn, that's a beautiful table setting." Four!

I have never heard of Blue Moon ice cream but it looks like something my grand babies would like. Your little grandson is just precious. Putting so much thought as to which plant to give his mom is surely an early sign that he is going to grow into a wonderful loving and kind man.

The chicken looked really good too.You must be a wonderful cook.Have a happy week.
